... it seems like I got the best trainer in the mission!
This week has been wild guys!
So since we talked last I went to my first district meeting and I talked to a good friend of mine here and it seems like I got the best trainer in the mission!
There are lizards literally everywhere and every night this mouse that is in our roof scares me by jumping around and making noise haha.
We had the opportunity to teach the English teacher here and also another man. It's amazing how much the people love the gospel here and study the scriptures. The English teacher literally has been searching all his life for our church, we just need to bring the message of the gospel as close as we can to his heart and let the spirit do the rest of the work. It's definitely a miracle just seeing the joy on the member's faces here it's indescribable.
In other news, there was what I call a "moped gang" of like 200 people with at least two people on each moped taking to the streets. We found out that in the Muslim tradition here they do that when they get married so that was really fun to see.
Also, its very fun being an American here because all the little kids get the biggest smiles on their face when they see me and I always say hi and shake their hands and they beam even more and when I have extra time I let them feel my arm hair. They just go crazy and giggle for the next 15 minutes. Sometimes they grab their hand and run, staring at it like they will never again wash the hand that touched the "beautiful white man" haha.
Also, I witnessed 26 people in a van that by American standards should have no more than 8. It was a fun time. We visited the village that we had 20 baptisms in and the Lord is really working with those people and we plan to have another 20 in the next couple weeks!
